Set up labels
You can define labels for channels.
Labels must be unique; they cannot have the same as the name of another channel or channel
pattern. Labels cannot contain spaces, and they do not persist through a power cycle.
You cannot apply a label to a range of channels.
Channel labels can be up to 19 characters.
You can only set labels for channels that are installed in the instrument.
